Reebok...are you kidding me???

Postby DS1119 » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:36 am

No wonder why this brand is epically struggling. Who's the Einstein that came up with this? :roll:

Someone needs to tell Rush Limbaugh about this campaign so he can make a bigger ass of himself.




really though, that is a terrible ad campaign - I wonder what firm accepted thousands (if not millions) of Reebok's $'s to come up with that crap.
Texas... Believe it or not, there are fans here who'd love to see you play.

That for real pisses me off. (gonna sound like an old bag here) Kids are totally impressionable and seeing stuff like this is totally going to justify them acting a fool...then they grow up to be total a$$holes. Just like watching the idiots on the Jersey shore makes them want to drink themselves into a coma and tan themselves to death. Pure ridiculousness!

And then they wonder why over half of marriages end in divorce :roll:

I hear you. I am pretty certain this was planned though. There would be more expensive placements if they were serious about it. Come up with a controversial ad, place it in a cheap place and generate more publicity for free..
